That is Painfully Obvious.

I think I have figured out how to navigate this slippery slope.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Not anymore.
If I ever did.
Ever.
I just keep telling myself 'it's all good'
Ya, that's right.

This is a song I wrote about living with an unstable, neurotic, mentally ill mother. While my situation is certainly better than a lot of others, it still has its really tough moments that can be hard to handle. This is a few years old now, but it still represents the situation well. I wanted to share it with all of you. Please enjoy and comment.

Friday, November 20, 2009 |
People complain about losing the friendship thing, the older they get, the fewer there seem to be, both because of death and because of work and family (which is actually another form of work sometimes). They also forget how to make new friends for some reason. "friendship at 40: relearn what seems obvious when you are 5: Be patient, pay attention, stay open, and give.

Friday, November 20, 2009 |
the Khasi are a matrilineal culture, in which family life centers around the mother's house and both inheritance and clan membership are passed on through daughters. Among the Maasai, the researchers found a male preference for competition that was comparable to that of University of Pittsburgh undergrads. By contrast, in the Khasi group, the pattern reversed itself—it was women who pre...1 Recommendation -

If I had my way I'd wish them away,
but I can't find the magic inside of me.
I'll give my best,
'cause I can give no more,
but your problems aren't solved so easily.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
If I could heal all the pain that you feel,
I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside.

Pet Bereavement Information
The loss of a pet or a non-human animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
Grief over the loss of a pet is often trivialised, and people who have not experienced it themselves may add to the problem by making insensitive remarks such as "It was just a cat" or "You can always get another". A further complication is that the owner may feel guilty over having chosen to have the pet euthanised.
